Frequently asked questions
What is the Indian numbering system?
The Indian system groups large numbers into thousand, lakh (1,00,000) and crore (1,00,00,000) instead of the international million and billion. For example, 150000 reads as 'One Lakh Fifty Thousand', not 'One Hundred Fifty Thousand'.
Does it handle paise?
Yes. Digits after the decimal point are treated as paise, so 1500.50 becomes 'Rupees One Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty Paise Only'. Paise are rounded to two decimal places.
What is the largest number it supports?
It converts values up to 99,99,99,999 (just under 100 crore), which covers virtually all cheque and invoice amounts.
